Good day all,
I have had a TC Sub V6 for about three years and have loved every minute of ownership. It is actually the most accurate mechanical watch I own, but over the past few months I have noticed quite the issue: it stopped gaining power reserve during daily wear, and I occasionally feel the rotor unwinding with force (vibrates my wrist). Also if I rotate the watch to get the rotor to wind, after a few rotations and placing it flat- the rotor spins the opposite direction quite obviously.
Is the problem associated with the reversing wheels? Or the anti-reversing gear?. Bad or dirty? I wonder if anyone else has encountered the same problem. I couldn't find much via search, and I dont know who to contact about TC Subs as it seems his blog is no longer active. I haven't had this issue before with any automatic watch. The movement is a TC 2824 aka ETA 2824-2 clone.
Recommendations? In my opinion, if it is too complicated or risky to fix, I can still hand wind the watch manually every two days or so, but this kinda stinks. :|
Many thanks,
Uhlster
